channel 4 swearing in subtitles!

Can't believe they gave him detention at 4! Poor little thing At that age it's just a funny sounding word, they don't mean it with any intent.

I agree with you about the f word, I'd go mad if either of mine picked that up while they are both so young.

was the big brother panto on channel 4 too?

all 4 year olds get detention, even for trivial things like fidgeting during school assemblies :-( a teacher at the school has a 4 year old who's had quite a few detentions already, she says 'well, he's got to learn (how to sit still and be quiet)' but i do think it's hard for a lot of 4 year olds, they are only 48 months old!
